Nick Cannon Buys Mariah A Puppy For Anniversary

The happy couple celebrated her birthday in Barbados and added to their family.

Nick Cannon picked out an 8-week-old Jack Russell terrier named Cha-Cha as a gift for his wife, Mariah Carey, for their first anniversary, which is in May. "We never went on a honeymoon," Nick told Us Weekly, "so I guess I can tell you we'll probably go to Barbados." Cannon and Carey were married in the Bahamas last year and have, by all accounts, been living in Hello Kitty—decorated bliss ever since. Rumors of Carey's pregnancy have flown since they wed, but so far Cha-Cha is the only addition to the Marick family. As anniversary gifts go, there's not much that's cuter than a puppy, although it's not exactly traditional. According to About.com, the age-old first-anniversary gift is paper, and clocks are a contemporary alternative. Here are five other couples with anniversaries coming up, and our suggestions for gifts (of the non–four-legged variety).
